...before the Mid-year examinations, there can be no excuse for not entering the contests in earnest. Every one will expect to see a first-class meeting, and it is to be hoped that there will be no disappointment of expectation. If men will train sufficiently, there is no reason why this tournament should not be even more interesting than those of preceding years...

Yale has not played Columbia, refused to meet Harvard, and had one drawn game with us. This gives us two victories, to none for Yale; and on this record we can and do claim the championship for 1877. It is true that Yale defeated Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia last year; but this fall their team has not won a match from any of these colleges; hence...
